If cartoons are anything to go by, then the attitude of the British towards the family, and of
British men towards the (31)........... sex, has not changed much recently, despite attempts to shame

either about to visit, or being somehow driven from the house is still a favorite butt of this kind of humor.

in wait with the rolling pin behind the door for the return of her drunken spouse. Children are rarely
shown other than as screaming infants, or else as ill-favoured urchins who (33)............ all their time being objectionable or asking for money. The old are simply (34)............ as comic characters. The problem is, how do such cartoons relate to the way people truly see each other?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 36 to 42.
 

Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live. Life expectancy varies
greatly between genders and cultures. It used to be that women had a lower life expectancy than men (1
in every 4 women died in childbirth), but now they live an average of four to five years longer than men.
Life expectancy has been increasing rapidly over the last centuries. With the advent of such modern
miracles as sewers, medicine and a greater understanding of how diseases are spread, our life
expectancy has increased by 25-30 years.
 

In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/ AIDS rate, life expectancy is as
low as 32.6 years. In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates are as high as 81 years.
There are an increasing number of factors which can cancel out the disadvantages you have. The one
that we are looking at now is how your career can affect your life expectancy. Choosing the wrong career can result in a shorter life!
 

If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made of
money. That's right. Rich people in wealthy areas of England and France live 10 years longer than the
people in poorer areas. Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result of hard work is
stress.
 

Stress can lead to a number of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, fatigue,
tension and aggression. These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and an increase in seriousinjuries at work. They can also lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks which seriously affect life expectancy.
 

If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need to avoid
careers on "dangerous jobs" list such as timber cutters, pilots, construction workers, roofer, truck drivers.
So if you don't want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something other than timber
cutting, but above all, remember to relax.
From Pre-Essence Reading by Rachel Lee, Longman

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 43 to 50.
It can be shown in facts and figures that cycling is the cheapest, most convenient, and most
environmentally desirable term of transport in towns, but such cold calculations do not mean much on
a frosty winter morning. The real appeal of cycling is that it is so enjoyable. It has none of the difficulties
and tensions of other ways of traveling so you are more cheerful after a ride, even though the rush hour.

The first thing a non-cyclist says to you is: "But isn't it terribly dangerous?" It would be foolish to
deny the danger of sharing the road with motor vehicles and it must be admitted that there are an
alarming number of accidents involving cyclists. However, although police records indicate that the car
driver is often to blame, the answer lies with the cyclist. It is possible to ride in such a way as to reduce
risks to a minimum.

If you decide to join the thousands in Britain who are now returning to cycling as a cheap,
satisfying form of transport your first problem will be trying to decide what bike to buy. Here are three
simple rules for buying a bike:
1. Always buy the best you can afford. Of course there has to be a meeting point between
what you would really like and economic reality, but aim as high as you can and you will get the benefit
not only when you ride but also if you want to sell. Well-made bikes keep the value very well. And don't
forget to include in your calculations the fact that you'll begin saving money on
fares and petrol the minute you leave the shop.

2. Get the best frame, the main structure of the bicycle, for your money as you can. Cheap
brakes, wheels or gears can easily be replaced by more expensive ones, but the frame sets the upper
limit on any transformation. You should allow for the possibility our cycling ambitions will grow with
practice. When you begin, the four miles to work may the most you ever dream of, but after a few
months a Sunday ride into the country begins to look more and more desirable. The best thing is to buy a bike just a little bit better than you think you'll need, and then grow into it. Otherwise, try to get a model
that can be improved.
 

3.The fit is vital. Handlebars and seat height can be adjusted but you must get the right sized
frame. On the whole it is best to get the largest size you can manage. Frame sizes are measured in
inches and the usual adult range is from 21 inches to 25 inches, though extreme sizes outside those
measurements can be found. Some people say if you take four inches off from your inside leg
measurement you will end up with the right size of bike. The basic principle though is that you should be
able to stand with legs either side of the crossbar (the bar that goes from the handlebars to the seat)
with both feet comfortably flat on the ground.
